SOUTH Africa made light of its weakened bowling attack by rolling over beleaguered Pakistan for 167 to clinch a 67-run win at Edgbaston in England yesterday, reviving its hopes in the Champions Trophy.
The Pakistanis' campaign lies in tatters with this second straight loss in Group B, their flimsy batting lineup collapsing as they chased a meager 234-9 on a good pitch despite South Africa being without injured strike bowlers Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.
In front of raucous support from the large Pakistani community in Birmingham, Misbah ul-Haq (55) was the only batsman to provide any resistance as Ryan McLaren grabbed 4-19 and Chris Morris took 2-25 on his ODI debut.
"Not having Dale and Morne in the team, any bowling attack will miss them," said South Africa opener Hashim Amla, who anchored his team's innings with a measured 81 from 97 balls.
"But it's water under the bridge for us. We have new guys in the team, new energy, and fortunately a victory like this will boost the confidence of everybody," he added.
